Sochi hotels near Anchor and Cannon Monument

Pros: Very Good!

Pros: Everything ❤️

Pros: Rooms are well furnished and nice overall (save for the minibar fridge - see the "negative" side of the review. Staff is polite, well trained and fairly efficient.

Cons: Let me start by saying that staff tried hard to make us comfortable. But there were three issues at this hotel that they were not able to fix, and they are VERY unusual for a property that claims to be 5*. First, the minibar fridge emits noticeable noise. A technician admitted that this is a design problem which exists in all rooms and not just in our room. The only way to fix the noise problem was to turn the minibar off. So you have to choose between the noise and your chilled drinks. The problem is apparently so well known to the technical staff at the hotel that they have fitted a special switch on top of the minibar for guests to turn it off. Second is the process of getting access to the minibar. Upon arrival the minibar is locked. You have to call housekeeping to get it opened. The hotel only allows access to guests who pay a security deposit. Now, paying security deposits at 5* property is what you expect to do anyway, and we were happy to pay it at check in. But it seems that this property frequently admits guests without a security deposit and preserves its minibar stock from being abused by just locking it up. The practice of admitting guests without security deposit and locking up minibars may be OK for 4* hotels and lower categories, but I have never seen anything like this at 5* properties. So thumbs down for this one. The last disappointment came from the check in process. I will say upfront that it had nothing to do with the hotel as such. It turned out that Russian residents (like us) have to present local passports upon arrival to prove their region of registration within Russia. We carried international passports. In the end we got checked in, but the process of searching for the local passport number was quite unpleasant. The manager told us that the authorities require hotels to collect these data in order to establish whether guests are liable to a tourist tax of 10 (ten!) Roubles (10 eurocents). Can you imagine such a waste of resources?...

Pros: Big comfortable rooms. Fantastic bed and bed linen. The sauna and the pool are open 24 hours a day which is very unusal - I like to go swimming and then to the Sauna at 6am and this was the only place where it was feasible. Great view. Wonderful breakfast. Just awasome.

Pros: The staff was very helpful and polite. Great breakfast. The rooms are big and clean. For sure I would recommend to stay in this hotel to family and friends.

Cons: The bed are not good not comfortable at all

Pros: The location and cleanness of the hotel was fantastic. It is located in the heart of the city. You may need walking around 20min to get to the beach.

Cons: The only thing that I didnt like was the noise of the street especially the buses who keep horning all day long. The location is great but they must sound proof the windows.

Pros: Great central location - walking distance to the seaside promenade via a beautiful promenade lined with palm trees and shops. The staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to help me e.g with finding a local seamstress, making calls for me etc. which was very important to me as the inhabitants don't speak English and I don't master Russian infortunately. Very confortable room although a bit on the cool side for me - the heating through the AC vents can't replace central heating IMO and it didn't heat the room enough. I also would recommend the Paulaner restaurant (branch from Munich). The food was as good as at their other branches but half the price.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location. Friendly staff. Clean hotel. Very nice breakfast.

Cons: Maybe bread wasn't so fresh.

Pros: Everything was perfect - check-in, room, facilities and location.

Pros: Perfect location for travelling, just next to the railway station, many restaurants and markets around. Staff here are friendly and helpful, almost everyone can speak English, which is good for communication. Although my room windows just opposite the railway station, the room is quiet at night, so I really had a good sleep. The room is not big but cozy, fully equipped. Very well room keeping. Besides, do not miss the breakfast here !! It's really wonderful !!

Cons: No.

Pros: The apartment is a very good value for money and location. Right on the promenade and very close to some amazing restaurants. The room is big, clean, light and bed is very comfortable. It is my 4th stay there now and I will keep coming back. Good apartment style living.

Pros: Security. View. Very clean. Location. Reception.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Someone enter the room when are outside and steal 40000 Rubles. The staffs Sayed It’s not my responsibility.

Pros: Apartment size, 3 toilets, spacious kitchen combined with dining and living room, comfortable beds, can't beat the view, clean, tidy, uncluttered, kitchenware, utensils, laundry machine, good water pressure, ability to control air-conditioning.

Cons: Night club noise from the beach, having to pay for beach towels, chaise-lounges, and umbrellas extra $25 a day for 3 people, 11 flights of stairs down to the beach, 168 steps total, which was a nightmare for elders, no access to the elevator at the hotel nearby, had to ask 3 times for clean towels after 3 days of stay, rocky beaches tough on feet.

Pros: Nice place overall

Cons: Too far from the Olympic area

Pros: The staff at the restaurant, reception, cleaning were very nice and polite, the breakfast was good, round hotel was very beautiful. Our room was big and nice. When I wrote to the reception before my arrival I received the answer.

Cons: The bed was not very comfortable, there were not a mini bar fridge, not tea and coffee facilities in the room, the road to the hotel was terrible.

Pros: Good place, but old. Definitely needs upgrade, especially in bathroom

Cons: Old furniture, full of dust; dirty in the bathroom, specifically in shower unit

Pros: A nice and big room, large open pool

Cons: Quality of breakfast and service at the restaurant. No buffet, unexpected extra payment for basic food. Only one standard menu for a day.

Pros: extra big room with all the facilities. very clean. with air condition.

Cons: WiFi not strong enough because of the thick walls (12%) in the corridor (35%). may be access point in every room could solve the problem.

Pros: Everything was great. TV has music channel with local caucuses music, we really liked this. Can't comment on breakfast or spa facility as we didn't use it. Unfortunately there is huge constriction is going on (next door big building is rising up) and if you are looking for quite atmosphere then this place is not for you. This is not hotel fault. Hotel is located up the heal, you will need to walk up the hill from the main street. Location is close to Circus. Paid by card no problem. They allowed us to stay till 6 pm for additional cost, which was great as our plane was very late at night. Thank you! Yes, I will recommend this hotel.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location of this hotel is very nice. It’s 3 minutes walk from the beach. There’s a balcony with a great sea view! Big soft bed and extra comfortable pillows - this part was very good! Breakfast was nutritious and diverse.

Cons: The quality of products for breakfast left much to be desired. They were neither fresh nor did they taste good. But it’s quite cheap - approx. 12€ per person/night. Still, I’d have preferred eating out. Coffee used for coffee machine as well as served for breakfast was too bitter. Juices served for breakfast were way too sugary.

Pros: Near by the sea beach

Cons: A bit far from the city center

Pros: Breakfast was great. Location was good. Close to the see and restaurant, cafes and bars.

Cons: For 18 floors only three very slow lift. Not worked air conditioning. Very slow settlement (only one employee worked)

Cons: The lifts were very slow
